TOLEDO, Ohio – Ron Drager, the owner and promoter of Flat Rock (Mich.) Speedway and Toledo (Ohio) Speedway, has announced the cancelation and postponements of several events at both tracks.

The cancelations and postponements are due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

At Toledo Speedway, the May 16 ARCA Menards Series East event has been postponed. That event will be rescheduled at a later date. In addition, the School Bus Figure 8 race on May 29 and the Great Inflatable Race run on June 6 have both been postponed and dates are being considered for potential rescheduling of both events.

At Flat Rock Speedway, all race events through May 30 have been canceled. In addition, Flat Rock Historical Society Flea Market on May 3, the Automotive Drifting event on May 10 and all TKC Go-Kart Club events have also been canceled.

“We will monitor and comply with the guidances of Federal, State and local government and healthcare authorities,” said Drager. “As timelines become better defined and approved activities designated, we will announce schedule updates. We stand aligned together with healthcare workers, first responders and public health officials as we continue to work through these difficult times, especially in our area. We encourage everyone to keep informed of developments through official CDC and WHO updates and to use recommended best practice precautions such as social distancing, frequent hand washing, use of hand sanitizer and covering coughs and sneezes appropriately.

“While it is our intention to return to racing when it is approved, safe and viable for us as a business, it is clear that in both Michigan and Ohio this will be a progressive process and that sporting events with attendance by the general public will be among the last activities to resume. Due to the uncertainty of specific dates for future racing events, the advance sale of tickets for all events has been suspended until further notice.”
